Connecting to the network

These systems need to connect to the IPSC2 bridge. Contact admin@vkdmr.net for the specific connection details for these systems.

2. Dongles/openspot/dv4mini etc:These systems can connect to either the DMR+ or IPSC2 bridge. Use the following details to configure your system to establish the connection:

Aus-2 Server: he.vkdmr.net

Port: 8880

3. mmdvm

These systems can connect to either the DMR+ or IPSC2 bridge.

Use the following details to configure your system to establish the connection:

Aus-2 Server: he.vkdmr.net

Port: 55555

Note:

1. If you use a 7+ digit ID, it will connect as a hotspot (DMO) connection. 6 digits ID's will be treated as repeaters and will need to be configured to achieve full functionality.
Contact admin@vkmr.net for further information.

2. Use the domain name if this is supported by your system. The IP addresses can change depending on the status of the servers, but we will ensure that the domain name are updated to reflect any changes. If you need the real address, they are (currently):

VK DMR Network

One of the reoccurring questions tends to be who pays for the network? Reality is that it is not a single entity, rather a combined effort of a considerable number of people providing time and resources both locally and internationally.

Key is the repeater owners, either the clubs or individuals. If you use a local repeater, please take the time to find out who owns it and offer assistance, even if it’s only moral support.

The core network is supported by a small group using predominantly commercial services. This is an area where real cash flows out the door every month, and while sponsorship is currently covering the cost, it might be an area that we need to look for funding from within the community in the future to preserve its operation. The VK-DMR core continues to evolve, but currently consists of three virtual machines within a Sydney data centre. And its these servers that in turn support the links of the various regions we talk to; be it ZL, the DMR+ network for Eu and the reflectors, or DMR-MARC in the US.

Software – thousands of hours have gone into the code developed by DG1HT, DL5DI, OE1KBC that keep the network going.
